Ethnic Tin Whistles

Hand made whistles from Kings Mills Ohio.  "Ethnic" meaning whistles that go beyond the confines

 of our western music modes and specialties for folk music.  

 

This new page will help those looking for whistles that are designed to certain forms of ethnic music

 find all of the related products one a single page.

 

Ethnic scale pennywhistles save time, eliminate unusual fingering problems and reduce frustration.

 

Series III High-D Ahava Rabba Scale with C Extension.

List Price:  $40.00 

An improvement on the Ahava-Rabba Scale Whistle.  The bell (bottom note) is in C but still plays the D Ahava-Rabba scale.  Seven Toneholes.

Has better spacing and works with more music then the regular Ahava-Rabba Whistle.

Useful whether you're jamming in Klezmer or Middle-eastern music or simply learning modal music.  I play other instruments and found that I can work in this mode better from playing this whistle - it makes you more familiar with the mode. 

Hava Nagila   Sher

Ahava Rabba mode is used by many cultures with different names:  Mela Vakulabharanam, Alhijaz, Raga Jogiya, Vativasantabhairavi, Maqam Humayun, Hitzaz, Dorico Flamenco, Harmonic Major inverse, Phrygian Dominant
